Topic: [VIDEO] Coffee Induced Dreams (Read 21200 times)

As you may know, I'm part of the RIdPEF community, a group of (mostly) french speaking enthusiasts about exploration in WoW, but also about modding in the game.

On April 25th 2010, the RIdPEF decides to start a big project : a video of about twenty minutes, in order to show the creative side of this community. A little like a machinima, a little like a technical demo, a little like Snoman or the MC-Addicts videos. In short, breaking WoW for a purely aesthetic purpose.

After eight years of work, the video is now finished. So without further ado, let me introduce Coffee Induced Dreams, which we consider as the culmination of our work on the game World of Warcraft.

We also want to thank the whole modding community around the game, for the knowledge and tools gathered over time, and more specifically : Adspartan (for his Multiconverter and work on Noggit), Alram (for the wiki hosting and his work on the minimaps), as well as Schlumpf (for his huge reversing and documenting effort over the years, his contribution to many tools and among them Noggit, and for helping everyone).

The model was converted to obj (thanks to WowModelViewer export function), the mtl deleted, and the obj imported into Blender. Then the mesh was heavily cleaned, and UV mapping was made by hand with lots of love.The re-import was made with MirrorMachine by Gamh.

The zone landscape was made by Trèsmollo with Noggit, and Zhao made the skybox + added some more plants around.

Amazing! The "Fear is the mind killer" part was especially great. Big congrats on your dedication, I'm happy you did commit and released a finished video. Too bad it didn't get more attention, I'm sure it could get a whole lot more if promoted just a little bit!

Yeah we really advertised about the video everywhere we could find, but it was really hard to catch viewers. Most of the communities around Wow felt quite deserted, and on major channels like official forums or some of the Reddit threads, we either got ignored or drowned in a few minutes under ever flowing news content.
